This workshop will emphasize the understanding of self and others through the use of personality type.  The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the personality types associated with this personality inventory will serve as the foundation for exploration of self and others in the context of interpersonal relationships, the workplace, leadership styles, group interactions, helping/counseling relationships, career development, and stressful or conflicted relationships.  Workshop participants will have the opportunity to complete the MBTI and use their personal information in fun-filled activities throughout the workshop.  Upon completion of the workshop, participants will have a better understanding of self and others and the dynamics that occur in daily interactions.  This workshop will be of particular interest to students who wish to know more about themselves and others, students who seek to know more about their personal career path, students who wish to better understand their personal leadership style, and anyone who has heard of the MBTI but never had the opportunity to explore its relevance in their own life.
